Citizens Financial Services, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2011 Earnings

MANSFIELD, PENNSYLVANIA— April 28, 2011 – Citizens Financial Services, Incorporated (OTC BB: CZFS), parent company of First Citizens National Bank, has released its unaudited financial performance for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 totaled $2,830,000 which compares to $2,746,000 for the 1st quarter of 2010.  This represents an increase of $84,000, or 3.1%.  Earnings per share of $.98 increased 3.2% from $.95 per share last year.  Annualized return on equity for the comparable periods was 16.57% and 18.22%, while return on assets was 1.38% and 1.50%, respectively.

As of March 31, 2011, total assets were $840.2 million, which was an increase of $27.7 million from December 31, 2010, and an increase of $90.4 million from March 31, 2010, or 12%.  The investment portfolio totaled $285 million as of March 31, 2011.  This compares to $251.3 million as of December 31, 2010 and $217 million as of March 31, 2010.  Net loans have decreased $6.9 million during the 1st quarter of 2011 to a total of $460.7 million, primarily due to fewer lending opportunities in the current economic environment.  CEO and President Randall E. Black stated, “Even though loans have declined, we continue to see positive impacts on our local economy due to the natural gas exploration efforts related to the Marcellus Shale, which have created lending opportunities.  We continuously review and pursue these opportunities, subject to our commitment to maintaining disciplined underwriting standards”.  Deposits have increased $23.8 million from December 31, 2010.

Mr. Black further stated, “Our credit quality has improved from December 31, 2010 and continues to compare favorably to our peers.  Non-performing assets as a percent of loans was 2.31% as of March 31, 2011, which compares to 2.80% as of December.  As a result, our provision for loan losses for the 1st quarter of 2011 was $225,000 compared with $305,000 for the first quarter last year”.

Stockholders’ equity totaled $71 million at March 31, 2011, representing an increase of $2.4 million, or 3.4%, from December 31, 2010.  Compared to March 31, 2010, stockholders’ equity has increased $7.3 million, or 11.5%.  Book value per share was $24.06 compared with $21.44 as of March 31, 2010, an increase of 12.2%.  First Citizens remains well capitalized based upon regulatory guidelines.  A cash dividend of $.26 ½ per share was declared on April 5, 2011.  This dividend will be paid on April 29, 2011 to shareholders of record as of April 15, 2011, which is an increase of 3.9% over the cash dividend declared one year ago.

Citizens Financial Services, Inc. has over 1,500 shareholders, the majority of whom reside in Potter, Tioga, and Bradford Counties, Pennsylvania and Allegany County, New York, where their 18 offices are located.
